Caravelle Sea Hunter
Hi guys! I just finished sizing the bracelet on my new Caravelle Sea Hunter and thought I’d share some pics and a little info. For reference, my wrist is about 6.25 inches. It’s been hard to find watches I like with the right dimensions for my relatively small wrist. But I really like the look of the Sea Hunter.
Dimensions: 39mm case. 20mm lug width (stock bracelet tapers to 18mm). 45.5mm lug-to-lug. 14.3mm thickness (which is largely due to the domed mineral crystal, it doesn’t feel that thick)
I’m really enjoying this watch. This is my first dive style watch and my first watch on a bracelet. I ordered directly from Bulova and there was an option to have the bracelet sized for free. The sizing options only go down to 6.5 inches, so I chose to have it sized for a 6.5 inch wrist. Interestingly, despite my wrist being 6.25 inches (or slightly under, depending on heat/ swelling), the bracelet was too tight and I had to add a link. I don’t know if anyone else has had this issue, but I would recommend going maybe .75 inches up from your wrist size if you do have a bracelet sized by Bulova. In addition to adding a link to the bracelet that was sized a quarter inch up, I have to wear it on the last micro adjust hole (i.e. I almost had to add 2 links). The bracelet feels like good quality though (and fits me perfectly now). I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it contours perfectly to my wrist and feels solidly constructed. It has female end links. There are 3 micro adjust holes. It also has a quick release, which I didn’t find particularly quick to release lol, but it’s fine.
Let me know if you guys have any questions about this watch!
